It is the eighth installment of the WipEout series and was first released on the PlayStation Network on 25 September 2008 in both Europe and North America, and on 29 October 2008 in Japan. A major expansion pack titled WipEout HD Fury was released worldwide via the PlayStation Network worldwide on 23 July 2009. A retail version was later made available in Europe on 16 October 2009.

Configuration
Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.
GPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Write color buffers | On | Fixes overbright graphics in some tracks. |
Advanced configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Driver wake-up delay | 250 | Setting this value to 250us should fix random crashes, you may need to set it a bit higher on low-end systems but don't go too high as it will hurt performance. We recommend staying below 500. |
| Vblank rate | 120 | Allows framerates of up to 120fps. Higher will work however the camera will start swinging wildly vertically as the framerate increases. |
Known Issues
There are no reported issues with this title.
